Malad City blends open-sky scenery with a close-knit pace of life, anchored as the county seat of Oneida County. With quick I‑15 access, day-to-day errands are easy, and commutes to regional hubs like Pocatello, Preston, and even Logan stay practical for work, school, and weekend plans.
Outdoors, you’ll find broad horizons and quiet trails in the nearby Curlew National Grassland, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, a gateway to wildlife viewing and rangeland vistas at the Curlew National Grassland. Warm months mean angling and paddling at local favorites such as Devil Creek Reservoir and Deep Creek Reservoir, with regional fisheries guidance from Idaho State University researchers and agencies, and birders often head south to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge for seasonal flyway spectacles.
Families appreciate the scale of local schools—Malad Elementary, Malad Middle, and Malad High—where it’s easy to know teachers and teammates, and learning extends into the community through 4‑H, youth sports, and hands-on agriculture. Year-round events at the fairgrounds, including the Oneida County Fair and the area’s Welsh heritage celebrations, knit neighbors together. Everyday needs are covered in-town, and healthcare is close by at Oneida County Hospital.
